After that she entered Elmira College in New York, graduating in 1866. A third female physician, Doctor Sara East. Brown, subsequently joined them, and the institution was re-organized as the San Francisco Hospital for Children in 1878. Brown had lived in California once before.
Her father went to San Francisco at the height of the California Gold Rush in 1849, and the family joined him in 1851.
Brown"s first application to join the San Francisco Medical Society was rejected on account of her gender. In 1876, however, she was one of four women admitted into the California Medical Society, causing the San Francisco physicians to re-consider and grant her membership two years later.
Brown wrote 18 articles for medical journals in addition to carrying on a busy practice, and raised three children, two of whom also became physicians. Children"s Hospital merged with another institution to become California Pacific Medical Center in 1991.
